How to Glaze Kitchen Floor Tile

Glazed ceramic tile adds an elegant look to a kitchen design. However, over time the glaze becomes worn and dull due to constant use. When this happens you have two choices: you could replace the tiles, which is extremely expensive, or you could re-glaze the existing tiles.

How to Glaze Kitchen Floor Tile:

Step 1: Sand down the entire surface of your kitchen floor tile. Use 180-grit sandpaper attached to a belt sander.

Step 2: Combine warm water and one half cup of trisodium phosphate cleanser. Scrub the kitchen floor tile completely with this mixture using a stiff scrub brush. Rinse thoroughly. Allow the floor to dry for at least 24 hours.

Step 3: Starting in the furthest corner of your kitchen, apply floor grade polyurethane on the entire kitchen floor tile. Allow the polyurethane to set for 24 hours.

Step 4: Sand down the entire surface of your kitchen floor tile. Use 250-grit sandpaper attached to a belt sander.

Step 5: Sweep up the dust. Apply another coat of polyurethane on the kitchen floor tile. Allow the polyurethane to dry for at least two days before walking on the floor.
